Most of the Union soldiers who experienced the wrath of Southern women during the American Civil War came away feeling that fighting the Southern men was a more appealing proposition.
General William Tecumseh Sherman said, “You women are the toughest set I ever knew. The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years."
The great value of the present volume is that it was not written for an audience outside the unreconstructed south. Even after forty years, the embers of bitterness and defense of the "Lost Cause" echo in these uncensored pages.
Yet it's not all vitriol and horror. Included are stories of great humor and a remembrance of Ulysses S. Grant's kindness to a wounded rebel son.
These are the women who lived through the pain and suffering of the Civil War in the South, some privileged and some...just folks.
For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
